Sloths seem to be all the rage lately and from the point of a (former/future) zookeeper I can say that I am less than impressed. But this sloth is pretty stinking cute.

This sloth may be adorable but lets remember that although sloths are very slow, they can move when they want to. I can vouch first-hand that sloths aim for boobs. The amount of boob-bites I’ve gotten from a sloth is terrifying. They don’t like being held, unless they feel like it. They stink, they get frustrated, and they get their period. Ever smelled a sloth in estrus  on a 95 degree day? Yeah, thats gagging you hear.  Think of that the next time you see a sloth do something adorable…
